WIP Wednesday: School's Out!

Today I feel like a kid who can't pay attention on her last day of school, because she's daydreaming about summer vacation. Why? Because today is my last WIP Wednesday until September!

That's right: I've decided to take a vacation from Work-In-Progress Wednesday. I've been doing this linky for more than a year and a half now. It's a huge part of my blog—people tell me it motivates them to make progress on their unfinished projects, and I love that to pieces. But writing about my WIPs week in and week out gets a little old sometimes. And what better time to take a break than summer?

But no worries, I'm not leaving you hanging! I would hate for WIP Wednesday to go away entirely, even temporarily. So I've lined up a fabulous slate of guest bloggers who will be here at Freshly Pieced, posting about their own WIPs and hosting the linky, every Wednesday. Not only will I get a little WIP vacation (a VIP—vacation-in-progress?), but you'll get to see some different projects and maybe even meet a few new bloggers you'll love as much as I do! And I'm certainly not going away entirely—you're still stuck with my usual ramblings every other day of the week. : )

Here's this summer's WIP Wednesday Guest Blogger schedule, so you can see who's going to be the hostess with the mostest each week.

Almost had a heart attack - finally have set up my quilt blog and could join in and for a second I thought you were stopping! So selfish, aren't I! Enjoy your break! Thankyou for finding a way to continue for me ;)

Have a wonderful vacation! I am looking forward to your guest blogger, what a great idea! I've only been doing WiP Wednesdays for three weeks so am still waiting for big push of motivation and the pile of finishes to start, but I get a thrill every time I share my post.

Thanks for taking care of us with guest bloggers during your break! I am excited to see what they have to share, and get to know some other bloggers in the quilting community better, since I am so new, myself :)

I wondered when the weekly grind was going to trigger a bit of a break. Thanks for all the hosting you've done this past year and half. I noticed that another blogger or two have taken breaks from their weekly linky party as well. Enjoy the break, enjoy your summer. I'm sure you cooking up some enjoyable things to do!

Have a good summer off...and thanks for getting others to host it while you are on your VIP.I do look forward each week to doing my own post and visiting lots of others to see what they are up to.School got out a few weeks ago here. I thought "oh yeah" more time for sewing. However, it seems I have less time now--go figure.I have it in my mind to at least work on my sewing a minimum of 15 minutes for day. Surely I can at least get in that amount of time to keep making progress!

You gave me a fright...WIP Wednesday is the only way I have ANY accountability ;). But A MUCH DESERVED break! How clever of you to have guests! My boys have been out for two weeks and it has drastically affected my progress! Enjoy!!!!

I think that's such a great idea to take a break and have guest bloggers! I love finding new blogs to inspire me and it should be interesting to read other people's posts. Thanks for not leaving me hanging! Sometimes WiP Wednesday is my only post of the week, with four munchkins and a new blog it can it hard otherwise.
